It’s hard to believe how quickly the time has gone, as I now enter my fourth year
with the magazine. It was back in 2015, whilst running the scooter garage Scooterotica, when I spotted an advert for the position of assistant editor.
Having had 11 years’s experience in publishing, as well as being the co-owner of a scooter garage, dyno centre, and the UK’s No1 scooter forum, I sent in my application, in the hope that all of the above would be enough to get me a foot in the door. It was. Not long afterwards, I was being interviewed for the position by then editor, Andy Gillard. He gave me a two-hour grilling, leaving no stone unturned as he checked my credentials. Part of the process was for me to give a synopsis of the mag, its problems, and deliver ideas for future editorial features. I must have got something right, because only a week later I received a phone call offering me the job.
